Selling · Magog · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
Sixty-three days and 12.9 months of inventory above $840,000: in Magog, the lake is no longer enough to sell. Here are the 2026 figures, the pricing method on few comparables and the waterfront calendar.
Selling a house in Magog in 2026 means selling in the Eastern Townships' resort market that has turned at the high end: a $585,000 median for the single-family home in the second quarter (+1 % year over year, +75 % in five years), 63 days on market, the longest in the Sherbrooke region, 132 houses active, a seller's market under $700,000 (3.6 months of inventory at most) and a buyer's market above $840,000 (12.9 months), where the Lake Memphremagog waterfront homes, the Mont-Orford luxury chalets and the large properties of Austin and Canton d'Orford sit. Downtown homes and the 1970s to 2000s neighbourhoods priced at their street's level go in a month; resort properties sell on their file (shoreline strip, dock, well, septic system, servitudes) as much as on their price, to Montreal buyers who compare with Bromont, North Hatley and the Laurentians. The method: carefully chosen comparables (few similar sales), an up-to-date certificate of location, wide and seasonal marketing.
Magog (sector 5 of the Sherbrooke region, with Orford, Austin and the township) sold its median house for $585,000 in the second quarter of 2026, +1 % year over year after +75 % in five years, in 63 days, with 132 active listings. The slowing pace and the balance of power tell of the end of the pandemic wave: the Montreal buyers who doubled prices between 2020 and 2022 are fewer, and the high end built or renovated then waits (12.9 months of inventory above $840,000, 6.4 months between $700,000 and $840,000). Under $700,000, the market stays with the seller (2 to 3.6 months). The city of Sherbrooke, next door, sells in 23 days. For a seller, the scarcity of comparables (properties that are all different) makes the price harder to establish than in the city: that is where the method counts.
| Sector (QPAREB, Q2 2026) | House, median | 1 year | 5 years | Days | Houses active | Condo, median |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magog, Orford, Austin, Canton d'Orford | $585,000 | 1% | 75% | 63 days | 132 | n/a |
| Sherbrooke outskirts (comparison) | $690,500 | 10% | 58% | 51 days | 117 | n/a |
| City of Sherbrooke (comparison) | $460,000 | 7% | 76% | 23 days | 285 | $314,000 |
| Metropolitan area, all | $490,000 | 5% | 70% | 34 days | 534 | $320,000 |
| Range | Months of inventory | Market |
|---|---|---|
| < 280K | 5.0 months | Seller |
| 280K - 420K | 2.8 months | Seller |

| 700K - 840K | 6.4 months | Seller |
| >= 840K | 12.9 months | Buyer |
The Lake Memphremagog shore (rue Merry, Merry Point, Southière-sur-le-Lac, Austin) and the Lake Magog shores sell waterfront homes and large properties above $840,000, in the range where the buyer leads: the price is set on the year's few closed sales, with the dock, the feet of shoreline, the shoreline strip and the servitudes in the file. Mont-Orford and the township sell chalets and mountain homes, seasonal, on few comparables. Downtown Magog (rue Principale, Baie-de-Magog park) and the 1970s to 2000s neighbourhoods sell everyday homes at or below the median, in a month at their street's price, to local families and retirees: that is the market that holds. Our page real estate broker in Magog details the sectors.
The sector median tells you where the market sits, not what your house is worth. Our valuation starts from the closed sales of the last 60 to 90 days on your street and the streets next to it (same type, same era, same lot), adjusts for what differs (finished basement, garage, pool, roof, windows, kitchen), then looks at what is for sale right now at the same price: that is your real competition. Pricing 3 % too high in a 30-day market costs you the first weekend, when viewings concentrate; pricing right produces multiple offers. We show you the comparables, not a promise.

63 days in median in the second quarter of 2026, plus 30 to 60 days to the notary. A town home under $700,000 priced at its street's level goes in a month; a waterfront home above $840,000 waits six months to a year if the price is 2022's.
May to August for a waterfront home or a chalet (the water, the dock, the mountain show); spring and fall for a town home. In winter, only properties near Mont-Orford get viewed.
For a waterfront home, the dock, the shore, the shoreline strip protection, an up-to-date certificate of location and a complete file (well, septic system, servitudes) bring more than a kitchen, and no renovation makes up for 12.9 months of inventory if the price is too high. In town, visible low-cost work pays back.
The broker's compensation, agreed in the brokerage contract and payable at the sale; the certificate of location if outdated ($1,200 to $2,500); the mortgage penalty if you break a term (three months of interest or the interest rate differential); the notary's fees for the discharge. Our free valuation puts numbers on all of it before you decide.
